New note apps must have an import options from existing popular note apps – or don't bother

Honestly, if a new note app doesn’t offer an import feature from at least one or two popular existing apps, it’s not even worth considering. The market for note apps is already has heavyweights like Notion, as well as the default apps on iOS and Android that most people have been comfortably using for years. Why would you switch to a new app that doesn’t offer any import options from say Google Keep or Apple Notes? It’s just another standalone app for notes – why bother with that? For those of us using multiple systems across different devices, the utility of a note app is not about the flashiest new features. Any new app that ignores the need for notes migration shows a lack of understanding of user priorities. It’s not just about pooling all our notes; it's also about respecting our time and effort. Developers should recognize that notes import is a critical factor – it's about enabling us to continue where we left off without skipping a beat. What are your thoughts on that? Is that make sence or it's only my problem?

It amazes me how often this gets ignored. Builders need to go even beyond import/export and offer richer forms of interoperability because 'I use X for this and Y for that' type situations are very common.
